A win for one is a win for us all. ✨ Our very own @samurai_cook has been awarded #14 at the @culinarycultureco Food Superstars (India’s Top 30 Chefs) Awards 2025 — and what an honour it is! This recognition isn’t just personal; it’s a milestone for the entire Mizu Izakaya family. And we couldn’t be more proud ^.^ そして、おめでとうございます — congratulations, chef! The road here hasn’t been without its challenges. Every failure, setback and late night in the kitchen has shaped us just as much as the wins. Teaching resilience, sharpening our craft and reminding us why we started in the first place. A big arigatō to @virsanghvi , @raajsanghvi , @sameer.sain and the @culinarycultureco team for creating a platform that celebrates chefs and gives recognition that truly uplifts the community. To be named among the talents shaping the future of India’s culinary culture is a deeply humbling experience. This moment also belongs to @vedantmalik14 , partner in building this dream, to the teams at @mizuizakaya.mumbai & @mizuizakaya.goa who bring passion to every plate and to our incredible guests who have believed in us from the very start. Onwards and upwards, always. ✨ by @samurai_cook

Japanese yellowtail, with a little Delhi in the mix. Mizu’s Hamachi Smoked Ponzu brings together delicate yellowtail amberjack and garam masala smoked ponzu, with Chef Lakhan Jethani’s signature touch. Delicate, smoky and distinctly Mizu. by @samurai_cook

We’re starting this month with a little extra gratitude. 🤍✨ Last month, Mizu was honoured with @culinarycultureco ’s Ultimate 3 Stars at the Ultimate Restaurant Awards, a recognition that means so much to us. Behind those three stars are countless hours, endless passion and a team that gives Mizu Izakaya its heart. A proud moment for our Mizu Izakaya family, made all the more special by everyone who has been part of the journey — our teams, our partners and each of you who continues to walk through our doors and share in the Mizu experience. A heartfelt Arigatō to @culinarycultureco , @virsanghvi , @sameer.sain & @raajsanghvi for celebrating and championing the people behind India’s food culture today. Here’s to the people who make it happen, the food that brings us together and all that’s still to come! ありがとうございます Arigatō gozaimasu by @samurai_cook

Just got back from Bangkok and my heart is still full. 🍜🙏 Spent this trip at the Yamato Noodle Academy from Japan, hosted by the incredible team at No Name Noodle — a Michelin-starred ramen shop that opened up their kitchen and their knowledge to us with so much generosity. The teachers at Yamato Academy were nothing short of incredible — they were the ones who really taught us, breaking down every technique, every ratio, every tiny detail with so much patience and care, i call them the “ramen mafia” the are responsible for some of the best ramen shops around the world, Chef @ramenshinchan , thank you for pouring everything you know into us too — every story, every lesson, every moment that took a bowl of ramen from good to unforgettable. I came in wanting to learn about noodles and left enlightened about food, about Japanese culture, about craft again and again itself. But honestly? The biggest gift — it was the people. My fellow students who became family in a matter of days, the No Name Noodle team who welcomed us like old friends, everyone who showed up to learn and share and laugh together. This turned into one of the most unexpected, most beautiful trips of my life — and the friendships I made here aren’t going anywhere. This is a family I’ll be coming back to, again and again. To every teacher at Yamato academy, to every student, every hand that fed us and taught us this trip — thank you. See you all very, very soon. 🙏🍜✨ by @samurai_cook

Welcome to The Chef’s Edit- Episode 03 One chef, One minute, One conversation. This time I step into the world of Chef Lakhan at Mizu 👨‍🍳 A closer look at the mind behind Mizu, where Japanese technique meets Lakhan’s own instincts, experiences and way of looking at food. Because we know the food. We know the restaurant. It’s time we knew the chef.
